Chapter 153 Pregnancy
Perhaps due to the influence of progesterone, Zhan Xinyue has lost her previous calmness and composure.
In the past, Sheng Tunan would never have been able to see his wife with such a cute and innocent expression in broad daylight.
The man's heart was suddenly deeply touched, and he quickly said softly: "No, absolutely not. I am just more worried about your health. As long as it is your child, I will like it and look forward to it. I was just too happy and didn't react at once."
"Humph." Zhan Xinyue stood up: "Let's go to the hospital first, it's not certain yet."
"Okay." Sheng Tunan agreed quickly. As soon as they walked out of the cafeteria, the man stopped and took his wife back.
"What's wrong? Did you drop something?" Zhan Xinyue asked in confusion.
"The food in the hospital is not tasty. Let's bring some food to my father-in-law and him, um, his friend." Sheng Tunan said.
At this moment, Ouyang Jie should have come out of surgery. Zhan Xinyue had already decided to recognize her relatives, so Sheng Tunan couldn't call the elders by their names, so he called them father-in-law instead.
"Okay. It's true that pregnancy makes women stupid for three years. How could I have forgotten it?" Zhan Xinyue patted her head. She was still clear about her medical skills. She took the patient's pulse three times in a row and it was always as clear as beads on a plate. There was no doubt that she was pregnant. She just wanted to go to the hospital to confirm it to feel more at ease.
“Hahaha,” Sheng Tunan laughed out loud: “Not stupid, not stupid. Being confused occasionally is also very cute.”
Zhan Xinyue's ears turned red. Fortunately, Sheng Tunan's voice was soft and only she could hear it, otherwise she would have to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Sheng Tunan asked the canteen to prepare a bowl of porridge and a large bowl of rice. He ordered some existing meat dishes, and asked the chef to stir-fry two other light side dishes and steam a few large crabs. He put the dishes one by one in an aluminum box and then packed them in a net bag.
Sheng Tunan took it and thanked him, then drove to the hospital with Zhan Xinyue.
Passing by a market, Sheng Tunan saw someone selling fruits, so he stopped the car and bought several kilograms of fruits, which he packed in a net bag.
Ouyang Jie did not go to the island. There was only one hospital outside the island that could perform surgery. Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue crossed the ferry and drove directly to that hospital. Sheng Tunan stopped the car and asked, "Shall we go for a check-up first?"
"Let's go see him. I think she's pregnant, but she's too small to be shown on ultrasound. I don't want to have her blood drawn. With today's technology, we have to wait until tomorrow to have our blood drawn. It's better to wait ten days or half a month before coming back for an ultrasound."
Zhan Xinyue got off the car. Her menstruation was always very regular. If it didn't come the day after tomorrow, then she was 100% sure that she was pregnant. There was no need to rush to know the result in one or two days.
"Okay." Sheng Tunan got off the car carrying a lunch box and some fruit.
Zhan Xinyue took a bag of fruit. The two went to the nurse's station, and Sheng Tunan showed his officer ID and asked, "Comrade, can you please tell me where Ouyang Jie lives? Is his surgery done?"
The nurse was deeply impressed by Ouyang Jie. Firstly, he was so handsome. A man was more delicate than a woman, and he had long hair.
Second, the man who sent him here was too nervous. It was obviously just a minor operation, but the tall man waiting at the door of the operating room was panic-stricken and fidgety. If you didn't know, you would think his wife was having a difficult delivery inside.
"The operation is complete and it was a success. Ouyang Jie is now in Ward 3 on the third floor of the inpatient department. Are you his son-in-law?" The nurse smiled and said, "Your husband and the patient are very similar, both very iconic."
Zhan Xinyue smiled as if to agree, "Thank you."
The couple asked the nurse how to get to the inpatient building. The nurse had nothing to do, so she simply took them downstairs before saying goodbye.
"Tunan, tell me, is that person really his lover? Is he bisexual?"
"Whether he is bisexual or not, I don't think my father-in-law will hide it from you. Let's go up first." Sheng Tunan said.
"But I'm also curious, can a person's sexual orientation change?"
As they walked upstairs, they discussed quietly. Zhan Xinyue explained to her husband, "It's not that it will change. Some people are born with bisexual genes, but most people don't know it. Especially in a more conservative era and environment, many people will not say it even if they are interested in the same sex."
"So that's how it is." Sheng Tunan thought for a moment and said, "Then I am Xinyue Lian."
"Ah?!" Zhan Xinyue's face was full of question marks.
"I don't like any man and all women except you. I only love you. So I am a new moon lover."
Sheng Tunan approached his wife. There was no one at the corner of the stairs. He leaned close to Zhan Xinyue's ear and spoke with confidence.
Zhan Xinyue's face turned red, and she said with disgust: "Tsk, you are so smooth-talking."
"Truthfully." Sheng Tunan said anxiously. Be it in the last life or this life, there was only room for one Zhan Xinyue in his heart.
Zhan Xinyue's face turned even redder. They had been married for less than half a year, and she was still very shy when her lover expressed his love so directly.
Fortunately, they reached the third floor quickly. Zhan Xinyue's face was still hot and her heartbeat was much faster than usual. She even forgot to knock on the door and broke into the ward directly.
Sheng Tunan followed closely and opened the door. The young couple saw the scene inside and were almost petrified on the spot.
Fortunately, Sheng Tunan reacted quickly and closed the door quickly.
After more than ten seconds, the door opened from the inside out, and Chen Long walked out and said politely, "Please come in, both of you."
Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue came in. Chen Long closed the door but did not go in and stood outside.
"Ahem," Ouyang Jie coughed awkwardly, "You're here."
"Yeah." Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan put down the lunch boxes and fruits.
"You guys sit down." Ouyang Jie said this, looking up at the sky and down at the ground, but he didn't dare to look at his daughter and son-in-law.
The young couple sat down, digesting the scene they had just seen, and didn't know how to start.
Silence and awkwardness spread in the ward.
Until Ouyang Jie's stomach protested and growled a few times.
"I brought..."
"Just now..."
Zhan Xinyue and Ouyang Jie spoke at the same time.
"You speak first." This time it was Zhan Xinyue's voice alone.
Ouyang Jie cleared his throat, looked at the scenery outside the window which was not particularly beautiful, and said: "The food in the hospital is too bad, and the rice is very hard. I don't want to eat, and he, in order to make me eat, just, hey, what you saw was him coaxing me..."
Ouyang Jie couldn't continue speaking, so he simply closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
He is already forty-three years old this year. Because he refuses to eat, his lover uses kisses to coax him into eating. If this gets out, he will be so embarrassed.
However, Chen Long is a dozen years younger than him, grew up in Hong Kong, studied abroad, and is open-minded. He thinks kissing between lovers is a normal thing. Every time Ouyang Jie protests, her boyfriend will say that there are also cheek kisses in foreign countries.
The most important thing is that Ouyang Jie looks very young. The water of the Hong Kong River is nourishing, and he knows how to maintain his health. In addition, he has lived in wealth since he was a child, and he has top-notch bone structure. When he stands next to the slightly more mature Chen Long, you can't tell the age difference at all.
It was not uncommon in Hong Kong before. In the 70s, many people on the streets of Hong Kong were already wearing shorts and T-shirts. It was not uncommon for lovers to kiss in the street. There were also same-sex lovers. After all, there are many Luo people in Hong Kong, and their country is rich in gays.
But this is not Hong Kong. Ouyang Jie knows the conservative environment here, and he silently thinks to himself that it's all over. Even if his daughter wants to recognize him, now that she knows he is having an affair with another man, she will not only not recognize him, but will definitely run away. They probably won't even see each other in the future.
However, no matter what, he will leave all his assets and money to his daughter.
"Well, you eat first. I brought some porridge, side dishes, crabs and meat. They should taste better than the ones in the hospital." As Zhan Xinyue was speaking, Sheng Tunan had already taken out the aluminum boxes and opened them one by one.
Ouyang Jie smelled the fragrance of the food and heard his daughter's voice. His eyes suddenly opened and he felt as if he had survived a calamity.
"Xinyue, you, you don't think I'm a monster?" Ouyang Jie asked in a trembling voice.
Zhan Xinyue shook her head. "I respect everyone's different choices. However, you still have to be careful. Now is the early stage of reform and opening up, and everyone's ideas cannot be open all at once. Don't let others know about your affairs."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll talk to Chen Long and ask him to be more careful next time." Ouyang Jie's eyes were sparkling with tears, and a tear was about to fall in her beautiful eyes, which made her look quite pitiful.
It turns out that beauty knows no gender.
"Ask him to come in and eat together." Zhan Xinyue glanced at the hospital food on the table. It was obviously untouched. It was already two or three in the afternoon, and Chen Long hadn't eaten a single bite. He must have been hungry.
"Okay." Ouyang Jie nodded, and shouted to the door a little embarrassedly: "Along, come in and eat first."
The next second, Chen Long came in.
Sheng Tunan gave him the lunch box and handed the porridge to Ouyang Jie.
Chen Long nodded and thanked him. After taking the lunch box with both hands, he put it down and took the porridge from Ouyang Jie to feed him.
"My hand isn't injured, I can eat by myself." Ouyang Jie snatched the porridge. He didn't have the nerve to let his boyfriend feed him in front of his daughter and son-in-law.
Chen Long didn't say anything, but looked at Ouyang Jie stubbornly with his dog eyes, still wanting to feed him. When Ouyang Jie was tired from working overtime in Hong Kong, Chen Long would feed him when he lay down with his eyes closed to rest.
"This is not Hong Kong, be careful of the impact." After saying this, Ouyang Jie cursed his boyfriend in Cantonese.
Chen Long then obediently brought the vegetables to the bedside table. He then ate a small half of the rice, poured all the meat and vegetables that Sheng Tunan had gotten from the cafeteria into the lunch box, mixed them together, and finished the meal in a few mouthfuls with the broth.
After dinner, Chen Long washed his hands and started to peel the crabs, then handed all the crab meat to Ouyang Jie.
Zhan Xinyue was amazed. This man was not eating at all, he was just pouring the food into his mouth.
When Ouyang Jie finished his meal, Chen Long had already brought some warm water without any instructions. He wiped Ouyang Jie's mouth and hands, poured another cup of warm water and placed it on the bedside of Ouyang Jie, and reminded him: "Don't drink water right after eating. Wait a few minutes before drinking."
"Yeah." Ouyang Jie responded.
Chen Long left the ward again and stood guard at the door, leaving space for Ouyang Jie, Zhan Xinyue and others.
"Well, well, he is quite attentive." Zhan Xinyue made small talk.
Ouyang Jie nodded shyly, "Well, when he was in his teens, his family suffered a misfortune. When he was begging outside, he was bullied by older beggars. I saved him. I paid for his education and martial arts, and later sent him abroad to study. He has no family, and he knows me better. I also need someone who knows me well to protect me."
Zhan Xinyue raised her eyebrows, wow, it’s still the cultivation system.
But she didn't show any gossip on her face. After all, she was an elder, so it was not easy to ask them about their relationship history directly. So she changed the subject and asked, "When did the doctor say you can be discharged from the hospital?"
"Within a week. It's just the right time to go out for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Xinyue, can I celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with you?" Ouyang Jie asked.
Since ancient times, Mid-Autumn Festival has been a festival of reunion.
After Ouyang Jie learned from Dongfang Xiaoqing that she had a daughter, he rushed over without stopping, hoping to reunite with his daughter on such a traditional and beautiful day.
Zhan Xinyue came here today, which means she has decided to recognize Ouyang Jie. She nodded and said, "Take good care of your injuries, and come back to Huanyu Island to find me after you recover."
Ouyang Jie is an entrepreneur invited back by the country. I think the higher-ups have already investigated the background and business of all members of the Ouyang family.
As far as Zhan Xinyue knows, after Ouyang Zhenting went to Hong Kong, he donated money and materials many times when the country was in trouble. In the late 80s, when Ouyang Zhenting passed away, the news also specially reported his patriotic deeds.
Large families usually have a heritage, therefore, the Ouyang family did not have a spy. After investigation, Ouyang Jie was able to return safely, which fully proved that he had no problems. He should have been issued some special passes so that he could enter the island.
"Okay, okay." Ouyang Jie nodded with tears in his eyes, "I will definitely recover from my injuries as soon as possible and reunite with you during the Mid-Autumn Festival."
The three of them talked in the ward for a while, mainly Ouyang Jie asked about Sheng Tunan's situation in a roundabout way. He learned that he had both parents, three younger brothers and a younger sister, and they were all very friendly. His father-in-law became more and more satisfied with this handsome son-in-law who became a teacher at a young age.
As for whether Sheng Tunan's family had money, Ouyang Jie didn't ask. Anyway, he had plenty of money, and he would give it to his daughter, so there was no need to worry that Zhan Xinyue would suffer in her husband's family.
Before they knew it, it was past four o'clock and Sheng Tunan and Zhan Xinyue were ready to go back.
"Well," Zhan Xinyue still couldn't say "Dad", and lowered her head and said, "There is a small restaurant in the alley across from the hospital. There is no sign. You can ask A Long to go there and knock on the door and say that he was recommended by a patient of the hospital and you can buy food there. I've asked around, and the food there is delicious. At least better than the hospital."
"Okay." Ouyang Jie smiled and nodded. His daughter cared about him. Although she hadn't called him dad yet, he was very satisfied. There was still a long time to go, so he was not in a hurry.
"Then let's go first."
"I'll let Aaron take you there." Ouyang Jie said.
"No, no." Sheng Tunan said hurriedly. It's not like he didn't see it just now. Chen Long looked at Ouyang Jie as if he were his own eyeball and was unwilling to leave.
Ouyang Jie also thought of this, so he didn't force him. He just asked Sheng Tunan to drive slower and take good care of Zhan Xinyue.
The two of them went out. Chen Long said nothing. He just said "take care" and watched them go downstairs and enter the ward.
As soon as Zhan Xinyue got in the car, she yawned and said, "I'll take a nap first. Call me when we get home."
"Okay." Sheng Tunan started the car.
Zhan Xinyue found a comfortable position, nestled in the passenger seat, closed her eyes and muttered, "I can see that Chen Long is sincere, but why didn't he protect my dad in his previous life?"
